I ♥ the replies to this Bobby Jindal tweet

I hope Gov. Jindal reads every single reply to this tweet and comes to understand how despised his pathetic attempt at politicizing a tragedy for his own personal gain is. And, let's be clear, it is absolutely appropriate to discuss the politics of gun control, white supremacist ideology, and complicity of the political class and mainstream media in perpetuating the failure of our society address these (frankly, not that difficult) issues. What is not appropriate is to exploit a tragedy to further your own career goals. People see that for what it is and they react with revulsion.

(1/3) It’s a shame that in his first statement to the nation, the President would inject gun control politics into this.
